Suthern Belle is a stunning blonde, as sweet as she can be, A quiet girl who loves to travel from sea to shining sea. She prefers to keep to herself when spending her time in the air, Ignoring the advances of strangers who note the color of her hair. Belle was on a cross-country flight from New York into LA, When Toerag sitting next to her asked if she’d like to play. Belle ignored the obvious advance, and turned to her window to nap, But Toerag insisted she play along, the game was really a snap. “I’ll ask you a question,” Toerag explained, “If you don’t know the answer I win,” “You’ll then pay me $5, and you can ask me your question then.” Toerag persisted in his requests, he knew winning wasn't in doubt, Belle politely declined to play, as she tuned his advances out. Toerag was agitated with her denials, so he tried another tack, “If I win you pay me $5, but I’ll give you 50 if you stump me back.” Toerag figured since Belle was a blonde, he’d win her $5 yet, Belle was interested only in sleep, but she decided to make the bet. Toerag asked, “How many miles is it from the Earth to the Moon?” Belle paid him $5 and thought, “I’ll get my nap pretty soon.” But Toerag didn’t want to quit, “It’s your turn, so stump me if you can.” Persisting in his advances since he was a desperate man. Belle asked, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and then comes down with four?” Toerag looked at her with a puzzled look, he’d not heard that question before. He took out his laptop computer and searched all over the Internet, He called his friends on the Airphone, determined to win the bet. After over an hour he woke Suthern Belle and gave her $50 in cash. Belle accepted the 50 then resumed with the winks she was trying to catch. Toerag was more than miffed, “Well, so what IS the answer?” he said in defeat. Suthern Belle just silently gave him another $5, then promptly went back to sleep. Psst, Toe - Don’t go messin’ with Suthern Belle - that lady will eat you for lunch - lol. |

Hey Bally...those damn people down there didn't even offer a study course or a tutor program? I've never done well on "pop tests" anyway.... (When they wrote me my prescription for about $200 dollars worth of 10 pills I offered them a free urine sample in trade for some doctor's samples)???....
